本书为卢森堡学者阿尔伯特·艾廷格(Albert Ettinger)*藏学研究成果,2014年*初由法兰克福Zambon出版社以德文出版,在欧洲多个国家产生反响。本书以学术独特视角,从政治、经济、社会、文化、宗教、教育、卫生等多个方面,客观描述了旧西藏政教合一统治下的世相,披露了许多代表性事例。通过大量实证,图文并茂地介绍了封建农奴制下旧西藏的黑暗以及这个“喇嘛王国”里森严的等级制度,以严谨的资料分析向读者展示一个真实的西藏,揭穿了西方关于西藏的种种虚幻谎言,还原了西藏的本来面目,揭示了所谓“西藏问题”由来及其实质。本书视角独特,资料丰富新颖,颇具学术水准,令人耳目一新。Is the Chinese description of old Tibet a blatant lie or could it be the truth? What did foreign visitors and explorers testify, as contemporary witnesses, and what do eminent western scholars state? In this book, the reader can find the detailed and meticulously documented answers…
